What to Focus On

  • Nutrition supports growth, repair, and well-being.
  • Children need nutrition according to body weight and stage of growth.
  • Good nutrition improves physical health, mental development, and immunity.
  • Infants have very high energy needs per kg body weight.
  • Energy RDA: 108 Kcal/kg body weight for birth–6 months.
  • Energy RDA: 98 Kcal/kg body weight for 6–12 months.
  • Exclusive breastfeeding is recommended for six months.
  • Even water is not required during breastfeeding.
  • Colostrum is produced in the first 2–3 days after birth.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Breast milk alone is not enough after birth, so water and other foods should be given immediately.

Colostrum is the same as ordinary mature breast milk, so it has no special importance.

Complementary feeding should begin from birth because breast milk alone cannot support growth.
